I am using this java code to download the file BoxFile file = new BoxFile(api, “1233071276329”); BoxFile.Info info = file.getInfo();

FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(info.getName());
file.download(stream);
stream.close(); but I am getting this {“error”:“unauthorized_client”,“error_description”:“The "box_subject_type" value is unauthorized for this client_id”} could anyone please help me.

    Hi @user57 ! 🙂

    I think you’re using a OAuth 2.0 Auth app,
    Is it a file you have access to, when you’re using Box.com in your browser ?

    box_subject_type refers to either an enterprise, or a user.

    If you’re trying to download a file with a standard OAuth 2.0 app, make sure you have access to this specific file if you’re logged in with a specific user.
